AVN-AH8 8 Stereo Analogue Headphone Outputs Dante Interface, PoE
The AVN-AH8 is a 1U rack-mount multi-channel headphone amplifier that distributes two sets of stereo audio to up to eight headphones, sourced from the Dante AoIP network. Each output features front-panel unbalanced 1/4” and 3.5 mm jack sockets with a rotary level control. The front-panel potentiometers adjust headphone volume from mute (fully anticlockwise) to 0 dB of gain (fully clockwise), allowing compensation for low or high Dante stream levels.
For ease of installation in enclosed racks, the rear panel also provides eight parallel 1/4” jacks.
Each of the eight professional headphone outputs can select between two stereo Dante sources, routed via Dante Controller. The level of each stereo stream/source can be adjusted ±12 dB using one of the two front-panel rotary controls. The unit supports AES67 operation and is Dante Domain Manager compliant.
The unit can be powered via PoE or a 12V DC input through a locking 2.5 mm DC connector with a minimum 2 A rating.
The front panel includes Power over Ethernet (PoE) and DC power LEDs, a network link status LED, and a clock LED. A recessed reset switch is also provided.
